F.	REGLEMENT DU COURS 

1.  Attend all classes on time. The instructor has the right to disallow you to attend the class if you arrive more than 15 minutes after the start of class. 
Each time you fail to attend lecture, you will miss two points which will be taken from the mark allocated for “Attendance and participation”. Meaning that if you are absent five times, you will end up having “Zero” for “Attendance and participation”.

2. Participate in class discussion. You may be called upon at random to contribute. Class participation means (1) coming to class on time (2) having read the materials before the scheduled class indicated, and (3) completing any work given during a class meeting.

3. Turn off mobile phones during class. The use of mobile phones during class is disruptive and is strictly prohibited.

4.  Plagiarism is forbidden. Plagiarism is the use of another’s original words or ideas as if they were your own. Within academia, plagiarism by students, professors, or researchers is considered academic dishonesty or fraud and offenders are subject to academic censure, up to and including expulsion. If you would like to learn more about what constitutes plagiarism see www.plagiarism.org.
